  • Patent number: 4643294
    Abstract: An endless belt conveyor having a pulley at the tail end with slats forming slots therebetween leading to an interior space, the latter leading axially outwardly, and the pulley having end plates with radial vanes leading radially beyond the slats. The conveyor has a casing with telescoping sections that are relatively adjustable to accommodate variations in belt lengths. It also has trougher rolls mounted on the side walls of the casing, leaving the bottom portion of the interior space clear. It also includes an intermediate discharge unit which includes a pair of relatively displaced rolls, on which the upper belt run travels, which throws the grain in a suspended path, and deflector blades interposed in the suspended path which deflect the grain laterally into a discharge chute.
